I ran all the numbers once, and if I remember aright the electric cars were something like 20% more efficient just going down the road.

Their wind/rolling resistance may be 20% less than that of vehicles not specifically-designed for peak performace in those areas, but they also have a lot of losses in getting the electrical energy from where it’s generated to where it ultimately goes into the battery.
